TARA 5 Ep 9 LIVE SHOW Updates & Commentary! *Starts 9 PM GMT+8!*
gamerfan09:
Something I'm frustrated about this episode are bitter fans forgetting how amazing this cast is and instantly wishing ill towards Eric & Rona and Parul & Maggie despite the fact that this episode was nowhere near TAR24 levels of awful in terms of race powers like the "Accidental Alliance".
For the last time, that annoying placement of race powers were PRODUCTION'S FAULT, not the RACER'S. There is no doubt in my mind that Yvonne & Chloe would ALSO have used it as they were 2nd to last.
There really shouldn't have been a race power on the PENULTIMATE LEG :groan:
Nyoman_SB1:
Let's just hope next season producer will not put yield or U-turn on the penultimate leg. Let the teams determine their own fate. Like Survivor, there is no hidden immunity idol in F4
georgiapeach:
OMG.
You guys have said it all...But WTF??
For the first time ever, I am really questioning TAR Production on this. Were this leg's hateful twists really scheduled for this leg or were they thrown in because the previous ones were not used??
The leg tasks were phenomenal.
But PROBLEMS:
Penultimate leg...let the racers control their own fate.
A UTURN following a YIELD?? That is almost immediate death for the affected team. Should NEVER be allowed. Even the pea task does not make up for that.
And A UTURN before the Detour? Makes NO Sense.
Agree also that their should have been enough horses so they did not have to wait. This is the PENULTIMATE LEG...LET THE RACERS DETERMINE THEIR OWN FATE!!
I have no problem with Rona and Eric using the U-turn. But I DO have a problem with it being on the penultimate leg and in the position it was.
Major love and kudos to Treasuri and Louisa. They NEVER gave up, fought to the bitter end. They are a lock for an ALLSTARS one day in my opinion. Frankly, they got screwed.
Dånooky:
I guess the twists this leg would have been more fair if there was more than one team with a target. Trez & Lou just happened to be in a bad position like Tanner & Josh and Brodie & Kurt. At that point it was the most strategic decision to target them.
Jobby:
People are going to hate me for saying this. But if you did not put yourself in the position to be U-TURN/Yield in the first place, it can't be used on you.
That being said..............................................................
POOR LEG DESIGN. U-TURN before the Detour is just stupid. And U-TURN + Yield is just like, hi, I just stabbed you, do you want me to shoot you too?
Production based drama... but the ones who suffered are the racers who love the race so much.
